@@binkawy it might take some time finding a staff to be able to cast sorceries if you pick a class that doesnt start with one. Other than that, sure, you can do anything regardless of starting class.
Tbh Samurai is looking like my choice for the classic dex katana build but bandit also sounds pretty interesting. Plus Samurai gets bonus points for starting with the uchigatana, I’m glad it’s returning. Although “faith based assassin” build for the confessor sounds tempting as hell
@@dylanricher4333 Probably the Vagabond since the higher HP will let you take an extra hit and the shield makes it so you don't have to rely on dodge i-frames until you get better at timing your dodges.

There is no other choice for me but the wretch..love going into soul games with nothing. Makes all the upgrades and leveling feel like they have greater meaning.
Been loving the more recent IGN videos. You can tell the people doing the newer reviews truly love video games and that reference to the Bioshock Infinite Boys of Silence let me know this guy knows his stuff haha.
Confessor for me! Melee/magic build has been awesome so far. Fire and restoration magic is so useful. Also both the Twinblade and Demounter have by far been best in class - those along with the Tortoise shield of course 😌
Fun challenge at the start but less than stellar stat spread if you know what you want to specialize in. If you know you're doing a faith build you don't need the 10 points in intelligence
@@OmegaDN not quite, the other classes have the additional stats that come from their level. Whilst the thiefs arcane stat is useless, choosing a samurai is great as you get extra points in all the essential melee stats in exchange for a loss in magic etc. Same applies to the prophet for faith or astrologer in sorceries.
@@OmegaDN It gives you more flexibility if you aren't sure what your playstyle is going to be yet. You start at level 1 but with 80 total stat points equally allocated vs say the vagabond at level 9 with 88 stat points. If you know you're never using magic you should pick the vagabond cuz those 5 extra points you otherwise would have had in int/faith/arcane are gonna be useless on the wretch. Wretch basically guarantees you're going to have wasted stat points.
@@jmorr5572 first character probably isnt going to specialize since we know nothing about the game. Most people aren't going for a pvp build or are going to freeze their levels. It's really the best class for blind playthroughs.
Prisoner is based off Griffith from the manga called Berserk. The whole Dark Souls franchise is influenced by Berserk and there's multiple Easter eggs in Elden Ring referencing Berserk.
the prisoner/wretch seem like the basic "what do you want your character to be?" kind of character, where you have full customisation for your attributes armor focus and damage type
Vagabond was my 2nd build, was happy with the Confesser but might go back to him eventually… the Wretch actually seems like the best to choose to be honest, might have to make a 3rd build later hahaha
Prophet or Astrologer for me. A class that has much better strength than dex or vise verse seems like it would be optimal. Although maybe an all rounder is a better idea, doing both dex and str in 1 playthrough?
So basically you either wanna choose Samurai if u want more strength, confessor if u want more magic or wretch if u just want a well rounded build that can do a bit of everything.
Best class in each of these games is deprived/wretch/waste of skin etc. Endless possibilities. I’m 53 hours into Elden Ring and my guy has grown into a solid dex/fai build. Fireballs and sword spinnies!!
You're in for a treat! You MUST play DS 1 - 3. You must. 1 is the purest ( and the hardest by far ), 2 has the most heart ( it's so amazing in that regard ) and of course 3 is the most technically impressive ( and has the most refined gameplay ). All 3 of them will test your resolve. Push through and you'll evolve into a totally different type of gamer. Souls is the truth man...
new players should know that starting classes become irrelevant after the first 10 minutes. you will level up nearly every attribute and get all weapons, armours, and spells. dont fuss over it. it isnt a big deal
Classes do matter when u wanna start out with the stats u like and wanna build around. That's the main purpose of classes. Other than that u can build them any way u like afterwards or stay faithful.
No its definitely the most new player friendly with high hp and and high attack from the start and newer players would mostly gravitate towards strength weapons and not dexterity
In pretty much all the games the high armour tank is the easiest way to start and gain confidence with the game. It covers a lot of the weaknesses that come with being a new player. For example blocking with a shield is a lot easier than dodge rolling and the windup for the weapon tends to be a lot less punishing than others. It won't make the game easy, but it'll give you safe options to rely on while you try do the more skill based things.
It’s the best for a quality build which is typically the best build for a new player. Allowing you to focus strength, dexterity, and vigor so you can have high health and be able to use most weapons you find. Don’t plan on being magically gifted though unless you decide to build it that way.
Don't look up any guides/wikis. These games are 100% better to go through and figure out on your own. Then your second character can be a mix/max powerhouse.
Don’t be afraid to get in some melee practice as well! It’ll click with ya eventually and you’ll be engaging from near and far! The personal satisfaction is off the charts and FromSoft definitely tends to reward you for really getting after it… Even if it seems sketchy at first, try to get a few hits in, you can always back up and finish those suckers off with arrows, spells, incantations and other ranged goodies… Enjoy, fellow Tarnished! Also… Prepare to Die! (Keyword: Prepare! Accept it mentally and take your time, but also, literally… Spend Those Runes frequently in the beginning… On leveling up and gathering your ranged consumables… then death won’t hit so hard ;)
This being my first Dark Souls game, I'm leaning towards the prisoner or confessor. I'm worried straight mage builds would struggle with difficult boss encounters. What do you guys think?

1h + shield. Maybe one of the classes that can supplement with spells, or hero.
